Getting a Vanilla Scent Without Discoloration! +i actually piped a soap. Weird. | Day 300/365

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Seriously what is that blow torch called?!?!

[@shannonkey1925]

May I ask you a question that has nothing to do with this episode? It has to do with the whipped body butter base from scratch...

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! I’ve never made a whipped body butter base from scratch, but I’ve done an episode on body butter in general, so if I can help, sure!

[@shannonkey1925]

@@MrsSoapAndClay ok sorry...with any base made from scratch, does it need to be refrigerated or just placed in a climate controlled area? I am very new at this and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what you do....thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes...

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I don’t think there’s any real reason that it’s necessary, but it also won’t hurt it if you feel more comfortable doing so!

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

its a hand torch :) and Happy belated Birthday!

[@danalin7627]

I'm totally impressed!!!! Nailed it. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊

[@niccoleholmes567]

Happy Happy Birthday to you and your family. I hope it is the best birthday yet for everyone.

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

Happy belated birthday and thank you for sharing you fragrance blend tips 💕

[@tara6777]

That's super cute and fun!🎂 I love hearing you talk about how you come up with recipes/blends. The torch, is called many things: hand torch, butane torch, culinary torch, soldering torch, etc. Hand torches are usually butane, and larger ones are usually propane. I also make silver jewelry 😉 (not as much, since 'Covid' prices, got me into soaping ❣)

Happy birthday, Soapy! 🎉

Hello....loving your sweatshirt....and the video was really informative....Thanks😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@nilzagarcia6341]

That works great for a b-day cake. Great tip for a scent blend. Thank you for sharing. We had 7 birthdays this month. Lol lots of June babies

[@Skylightatdusk]

The 'discoloration' looks really nice I think. To me, it is more reminiscent of real baked cake.

[@TracyD2]

Happy Birthday! All my birthdays are in the early spring and in November.

[@topshelf223]

Happy birthday girl!!!

[@waynegross2113]

Awesome blend, very smart! I just made a soap for my sister. She was born in the year of the "summer of love" and I created a fragrance just for her. It is patchouli, rose, with just a touch of orange and lemon. It smells amazing and I call it 1967. Oh it's also white with drop swirls in the rainbow colors. It sure was fun to experiment for a day. It broke up the restock the regular scents jazz that we all do! It was fun to watch this for those same reasons. And to see how others pick and chose a blend! This turned out really well. I'll have to write that scent blend down so I remember it. Just in case somebody says "Hey, do you make birthday cake soap!" I can say sure do, lol! Have a blessed evening! Jill PS: Happy Birthday Mrs. S & C!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Your blend sounds amazing!!!

[@pattiemoseley8752]

What a fun bar of soap to make and I bet it smells amazing

[@norawalsh5471]

What a cute soap! I honestly think it's called a culinary torch or a chefs torch. I'm totally digging your sweatshirt too! Thank you for another great video

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

It was a bday present from the kidlets. Love it!

[@norawalsh5471]

@@MrsSoapAndClay awwww they have excellent taste ☺

[@karenMQSoapery]

So cute and no my soap frosting on one of my soaps turned light brown to it’s from the fragrance oils so I stop putting fragrance oils in my frosting but I still use the same recipe for both omg mrs soap clay you made a pretty soap

[@jinipatton3200]

Happy Birthday!!

[@suessoapcreations]

Happy belated birthday! I shot races all weekend and totally missed it in Discord 🎂

[@schellsc]

Happies of Birthdays to you and your family's birthdays!! I'm going to try to keep all of my comments to 1 post this time lol. I have a customer that asked for vanilla patchouli scent for her birthday party soaps and of course white is the base color. Wellington has the fragrance oil with no vanilla, that was on the description. Of course I had to trust but verify with test bars and they did not completely discolor! I was shocked lol especially because the color of the fo was dark lol. Yayyyyy you piped!! I test scent blends on a cotton ball when I have the time to test. Otherwise I just go for it lol. I think it is called a blow torch? They look beautiful!!

[@christyh.0073]

I just love all your videos!! I have learned soo much. I’ve been here since day 1. There is a company that sells vanilla scent that does not discolor… I think it is AFI… Maybe check into that. I wish I could but I don’t think they sell small quantities

[@denisegeorgenorris4609]

I freaking love watching you!!! I just started making soap and you have soooooooo many videos out there… here’s what I’d like you to please send to me… the oil properties… like what fatty acid thingy that’s associated and the main ones I need for my soap 🫣 I love how you explain the chemistry behind it all cause that’s what I want to know… please reach out to me 😘😘😘

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! Thanks for watching! I have done loads of videos on fatty acid profiles, and also talk about them within every oil specific deep dive vid. They’re out there! Have fun!

[@SOMUCHMORETHANMS]

Happy Belated Birthday!!!!

[@nerinat8371]

So so cute! 🧁

[@kimgardner7028]

It is a culinary torch, and the meringue things are either meringues or pavlova. :)

[@loricolwell1470]

Beutiful💕 vanilla is my all time favorite for anything.

[@denisegeorgenorris4609]

Happy born day 🤩🥳🤩

[@brandnewmein09]

I think it’s called a culinary torch. I tried the cake soap thing once. I used a fruity fragrance…maybe you could not use fragrance in the frosting cause the pink still looks pink? Well done! Super cute.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Yup normally I don’t add scents that discolor to the white bits, but for purposes of the video I wanted to show what it does!

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

I don’t use TD . I haven’t used it in 4 years. I only use Snow White by Mad Micas and my white soap is milk white. Literally milk white.

[@kathrynostergreen8480]

Happy birthday hun

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thank you!

[@karenMQSoapery]

All my frosted high top soaps sell out fast and I mix black raspberry vanilla with my honey oatmeal soap to my oatmeal honey soap smells like more cinnamon then anything I mixed it and made two loafs there gone see I’m learning a lot I also mix fragrance oils I don’t like

[@Ultraa_ray]

Omg they look like cupcakes! May i ask, how did you achieve the white color without titanium dioxide??

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

The oils are light in color, and I use a lot of kaolin Clay.

[@Ultraa_ray]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Thank you!

Happpy Brthday Lovely xx

[@denisehaley9271]

My batter took FOREVER to thicken also, I ended up taking stick blender to it as well for the piping portion on my coffee soap

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Yeah it’s a rare occasion wherein I will be mad at soap for taking too long to thicken up, but piped soaps are definitely one of those times!

[@jjaded9984]

Love the shirt! Where do I find one of those?

[@jjaded9984]

Lmao, just read through the comments and looks like we all want the shirt!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! Kids got it from target!

[@kelseyyates8812]

Butane torch. Love the shirt.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thanks!

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

Would it be easier to use a vanilla stabilizer to control the discoloration?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Vanilla stabilizers don’t work consistently, and eventually the soap will discolor whether they’re used or not. For me, I’m not a fan of adding extra stuff that doesn’t provide a benefit to the soap so I avoid the stabilizers.

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Got it 😁😁

[@osirissteward550]

Uuuuu I really, really like that soap!

Sounds like our family we got 5 in July and 3 in August literally from every week starting from the first week in July I got my son and my grandkids and then both my daughter and more grandkids 😂and I also ordered birthday cake fragrance for the same thing great minds and good job looks good

[@katelillo1932]

Has anyone ever tried brewing tea in a milk for soap instead of water? It seems like it would work... right?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t!

[@cherylturner2173]

My birthday was yesterday 11-26

[@questrixdragon]

What about using Benzoin for the vanilla scent?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! I’ve never worked with benzoin in soap; the last time I looked into it there had been some new guidelines about usage dangers that made me all but forget about it. From what I remember, it can be used in small amounts in fragrances to stabilize a scent, but you can’t use it in high enough amounts for an actual vanilla scent to come through. This is a memory from at least a decade ago though, so I’m not sure!
